Spain and its flag. Zapatero

During the "Transition" is committed (in my opinion) in Spain a series of political blunders whose consequences, in many respects, still suffer.

In those days when the party of the CDU, led by Adolfo Suarez, was holding the helm of the English future, the president himself made a statement that Smith was trying to express, the great and necessary change intended to give the life of Spain in most respects, not only in political but, at the time, was the most important in order to undertake other from positions and standard logic: "We intend to raise normal category which, at street level, is simply normal. ".

But in those moments, missed a great opportunity to standardize many aspects of national life. It is true, and deserves to be recognized and valued, the example that Spain gave to the world in those years. By making a transition from a regime like the one left, to one of the most advanced democracies in the world today free and all this was, without major problems.

A misguided, progressivism which was then moved to wide sectors of politics and English society in general now, no one knew, or could not, address the part of those new Founding Fathers.

So, something so simple and normal as displaying the national flag in any of your personal items or any item of clothing, became a facade sign, reminiscent of Franco Yser enemy of change and the freedoms that some progressive bring trash said, ignoring Spain itself was the defendant and who was putting on his land. Refer to your country like Spain, was synonymous with fascist and politically incorrect. Even in the Parliament (recall) was subtly avoided the name of Spain, replacing the country (hence the famous phrase that Vizcaíno Casas: .. this country, formerly known as Spain ..).

That subject was the product of a strong complex that influenced our political leaders created unfortunately by certain current outdated and absurd vindictiveness repressed fundamental and logically from the political left, which still preserves reminiscences important in large national sectors.

Thus was formed the spirit of a generation of españolitos Liberals, rivals of a "68" that had only heard, so incomprehensible to them and old-fashioned in those years, extraordinarily receptive to break with the English past and that a large majority, he could not be able to distinguish between a country, Spain, its symbols and a political regime was crumbling under its own weight to make way for a state approved modern countries.
absurd
These complexes generated the inability to standardize such matters and led to certain political forces to take servile and abject positions in favor of archaic local nationalism at the expense of a philosophy national unity that the Constitution enshrines as a fundamental and uncontroversial.

been 35 years, and so destroyed that policy, affection, respect and pride for our flag, we reinstated the English football team, the world champions in the last championship held in South Africa.

Today, there are many people that boasts a English flag. Now, finally, is the flag of Spain. The flag of all. I forget what happened before. I feel happy. Finally, Spain has its flag. Labor cost. Now I only have in my house. And do not put on the bracelet and my watch or on the lapel of my shirt. Now Spain is already represented in the world through football ... Do not you be ashamed to politicians ...?
